Republicani, împotriva lui Trump. Proiect de lege pentru interzicerea achiziția de petrol rusesc • Newsweek România
A group of Republican senators is urging Trump to reverse his decision on Russian oil imports, proposing a bipartisan bill to block such purchases. Senator Brian Fitzpatrick announced the initiative, named "Peace Through Strength in the Name of Ronald Reagan," aiming to prevent Trump from lifting sanctions on Russian oil amid global fuel shortages. The bill is expected to receive strong bipartisan support. Critics, including both Republicans and Democrats, argue that Trump's agreement with Putin to supply diesel undermines U.S. sanctions and aids Russia financially during its aggression against Ukraine. The senators emphasize that U.S. imports of Russian oil should cease until Russia ends its military actions against Ukraine.
